Favourite Embossing Folder

Hello you lovely people and I hope the week has been good to you.

There's a new challenge at As You Like It today and we have dusted off our favourite embossing folders.

My first die cutting machine was my Cuttlebug which came with dies and embossing folders and Swiss Dots was one of them. It has always been a firm favourite as it is so versatile and can be used on any type of card or project to add a bit of interest...as in this case!!

I used a sweet Bildmalarna stamp and coloured the tulip to coordinate with the spotty ribbon and coloured card. The sentiment is from LOTV.

I hope you stayed safe in the storms last night, I had a most terrifying night :0( The curses of living half way up a hill. After decamping to the guest room I think I managed a total or 2 hours sleep. Still all is well this morning and the stables and barns survived the night!! Looks like we are in for heavy snow next week....oh joy!!

Anyway less of the weather report...oops, got sidetracked a bit there!! Hope you will find time to bring along your embossing folders we always have a great sponsor and this time is no exception as it's

Hi Sarah, I love your adorable card. It's so sweet. Very nice that buckle on your ribbon too. It's very stormy weather overhere aswell and in minute I have to drive to the dentist. Hope I won't be blown away.Big hug from Veerle

Gorgeous! And it definitely is the most versatile of embossing folders... The first I bought.We live at the top of a hill! The storms didn't seem as bad here, but we did lose a couple of trees on our street! x

Love this embossed card Sarah. Well you know me and embossing folders!Sorry to hear you didn't get much sleep with the storm. I was suprized that we didn't have a blustrier journey over the M62 last night or through night. Dry and still first thing but it's just started to rain. :)

This is so gorgeous Sarah. I love everything about it - I love embossed dots especially. Im glad there was no damage from the storm and I hope you get more sleep tonight. I thought I recognised the Maggie stamp from way back in 2008. They are cute. Can't wait to see some more of your accidental buys lol - Michelle x

Love the clean crisp look of this, Sarah! The apertures look really effective and of course the EF is fab! Can’t beat a good Swiss Dot I say!! The weather here was too noisy for sleep too! Much quieter this morning thank goodness! xxx

Brilliant I love the design the circles look just great and I love this embossing folder like you I got this with my Cuttlebug and always loved it but not used it for a while we do forget what we have don't we !! hope the weather is better tonight and you get some sleep its howling again here at present I hate wind Love and hugs Carole x

Sarah, a beautiful CAS card, love that EB folder. Glad you haven't had any damage, but not good about the lack of sleep, we sleep upstairs in what is the roof space of the cottages and the slates rattling does my head in, so I had to clear the spare bed of crafty stuff so I could get into the bed. Stay safe. Hazel x
